I support United, really happy with the signings we've made and the first few results of the season. The transfer market is turning ridiculous though, Bolasie for £30 million? Pogba for £89 million? Higuain for £75 million, the list goes on...

Should be interesting to face Hull this weekend, considering they hardly have a squad they've done pretty well so far.

If Ibrahimovic stays injury free and United spam crosses all season they'll probably win the league tbh.

It should be a good battle between the Manchester clubs for the title this year.

Wenger has finally bowed to the pressure and panic bought some players. Lucas Perez seems like the kind of player who will flop hard, a bit like how I expect Janssen for Tottenham to do likewise.

West Ham - Astra 0-1.

Oops, we did it again.

Not going to lie, I'm a little bit jealous of all of these Chinese millions going into Villa right now.

On the bright side Oliveira is okay and we're a day or so away from keeping hold of Klose and Brady.

We missed out on everyone!

But it now looks as if we could be getting Marouane Chamakh on a Bosman. Don't know where he is as a player nowadays but I'm happy we'll be able to bring back 'Moroccan all over the world'. For our Boro fan, another line in that chant was 'Youssef's better than Juninho'. Showing it's age a bit there.

Manchester City is my fav fc. I'm going to make some bets on the next match through online sportsbooks. I read a lot of interesting info about best bookmakers and also I always check sports review by independent experts to make the right bets. Hope I'll win some cash.

Well we made that more exciting than it aught to have been 2 - 0 at 85 mins and 3 - 2 at full time. Josh and Jacob Mupphy really making a mark this season.

Nice to see you thought of one of our little club's players for that chant back in the day. That was around the ol' Darren Huckerby era. I feel old.

Good to hear that the Murphys are realising their potential as well.

Disappointing performance and result this weekend, but it happens doesn't it. Tough run of games coming up.

The UCL is starting again this Tuesday, I'm super excited. What matches are you looking forward to? I hope PSV will be able to take revenge for last against Atleti. Unfortunately, it won't be possible to watch that and PSG - Arsenal at the same time...

 

[Lipstick Vogue]

I still vividly remember Huckerby joining but that doesn't really make me feel old. Seeing the young striker we brought in along side him on the other hand.

Spoiler:

Interesting how they went for the same poorly styled hair, maybe it was a 2004 thing.

It'll be good to have the UCL back, I suppose Leicester will be the main team of interest for me.

 

[Banz]

Quite a goalfest this matchday.

I was at St James Park yesterday to watch Newcastle vs Wolves (I'm a Wolves fan). I thought we would've been lucky to come away with anything away to the team that are the favourites for promotion this season, but we went and won 2-0! They won 6-0 away to QPR in midweek, at the same time we lost 4-0 at home to Barnsley, so that made the result even stranger. We play them again on Tuesday in a cup match, and I'll be going there again. Hopefully another 2-0 win.

 

[Lipstick Vogue]

A cliche but that really is the Championship for you.

Newcastle is a decent away day if you enjoy climbing stairs.

We won away at Forest, probably our first genuinely 'good' performance since the opening day. Lots of players getting back to fitness too, things are looking decent.

 

[Eruption]

It definitely is typical of the Championship, I'm reminded of Bristol City doing the double over us last season.

Terrible weekend for us and the first signs that we're in for a long season.

 

[Lipstick Vogue]

We'll be getting smashed by Everton B tomorrow. Obviously won't mind is it'll allow us to focus on the most important thing, the Checkatrade Trophy.

 

[Xherdan]

Here's me thinking Arsenal were going to be a total letdown and be dominated by a small team with a great striker. I saw Perez being announced and asked myself "What is Wenger up to?" He was up to a damn good idea, this kid is brilliant.

Borussia Dortmund has made another victim. They can't stop. And i can see an easy 4 or 5-0 against Freiburg next game.

I'm not sure of what next jersey i should get. I'll probably pick Arsenal, but i'll consider other choices, since my newfound respect for Manchester City.

 

[Lipstick Vogue]

So we didn't get smashed by Everton's B team. They couldn't find a final ball and we had the Murphy that's been on the bench most of the season. https://twitter.com/sportlobster/status/778527359653871616
